Chapter 239 is unbearable to look at.
Lu Nange gently extended her five fingers, and a cool breeze spread out from her, dispelling the lingering heat around her.
Under the blinding beams of the car headlights, the once lush jungle was reduced to a charred ruin, with twisted, withered branches resembling dying arms.
Chi Yanzhou: "Chi Yi, go help Zhi..."
The words abruptly stopped—halfway up the mountain, the vines that had been wrapped around the macaw's claws loosened.
The moment it landed, its petite body suddenly swelled up, and its emerald green vines spread wildly, covering hundreds of meters of scorched earth in the blink of an eye.
In this forest that has been burned black, the vibrant green stands out starkly.
Jiang Zhian's eyes lit up: "Nannan, how can I get a little branch?"
Jiang Zhiwang chimed in, "Sister Nan, how can I get such a cool macaw?"
As they were talking, they saw vines rapidly moving across the ground, curling up each crystal core.
After completing its mission, it quickly shrank back to its small form and glanced at the distance between itself and Lu Nange.
A vine stretched out from one branch into the air, wrapped around Gangzi's claws, and made a "chirping" sound.
[Take me back to my master!]
Chi Yanzhou ran his fingertips across the charred tree trunk: "How about we get the wood element to clear a path?"
Lu Nange looked towards the mountaintop: "Shall we drive up?"
"Yes." Chi Yanzhou nodded.
Chi Yi and several wood-type ability users stepped forward.
The vines swept across the ground like a bulldozer, scattering charred wood to the sides wherever they went.
In less than ten minutes, a mountain road wide enough for four cars to drive side by side suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Jiang," Chi Yanzhou patted the ash off his hands, "Let's go up the mountain."
Lu Nange: "Aye, Xingyou, all metal-type ability users, put away your shields!"
With one hand, she lifted Lu Beiye onto the back of the pickup truck, then nimbly flipped herself inside.
The rest of the team members quickly followed.
"Miss Jiang, why don't I drive up the mountain?" Chi Yi stopped Jiang Zhi'an, who was about to get into the car.
Jiang Zhian shrugged and stepped back: "Okay."
The driver's side door had barely closed when, before Ji Xian could even speak, Jiang Zhiwang nimbly jumped out of the passenger seat: "Boss, please sit down. I'll go to the back to keep my sister and Sister Nan company."
The Jiang siblings jumped in unison and landed in the truck bed.
The engine roared to life—Chi Yi stepped on the gas the instant the last person got into the car.
"Depart!" General Cheng's order rang out firmly.
Jiang Jing: "The whole team, follow up."
The convoy sped up the scorched, bare hillside.
The tires rolled over the ashes, kicking up plumes of black snow.
The pickup truck that led the way stopped about 100 meters from the top of the mountain.
The engines gradually shut down.
Gangzi folded its wings and landed on the roof of the car, its tendrils wrapping around Lu Nange's wrist.
As the group made their way up the mountain through the rustling charcoal, they held their breath when they saw the sight before them—deep in the dense forest, countless scarlet lights flickered and undulated.
Chi Yanzhou and Lu Nange's eyes met: "How about we go all out?"
Lu Nange nodded slightly: "Aye, Sister Xingyou."
She drew a semi-circle with one hand: "Take all the gold-elemental units and surround the left, right, and rear sides. This time, all the mutated animals will only be able to come towards us at the top of the mountain!"
"Sister, Aye understands!" Golden light began to flow in Lu Beiye's hand.
Luo Xingyou: "Nan Nan, don't worry about leaving her to us."
Shi Xu suddenly peeked out from behind: "LuLu~ XuXu, can you continue playing with your toys?"
"Follow A-Ye." Lu Nange waved her hand without turning her head.
Shi Xu ran to Lu Beiye's side: "Protect Beibei, be a good girl, Xu Xu..."
He Zhuo, Gu Qi, and Ji Xian exchanged a glance: [Disgusting, greasy, an eyesore, I can't bear to look!]
Golden light surged up from the foot of the mountain like a giant wave, and three metal barriers rose into the sky, several feet higher than before.
"Leave the air to me!" Lu Nange leaped onto Gangzi's broad back, the vines nimbly wrapping around her wrists: "Sister Wenqing, back to the car!"
Wen Qing nodded and turned to run towards the pickup truck.
Chi Yanzhou: "Leave the rest to us!"
As the macaw soared into the air, she swept her palm across the vines, collecting all the crystal cores on each vine into her spatial storage.
"Go!" Chi Yanzhou said, looking at Gangzi who had come to a stop in mid-air.
In an instant...
The car lights suddenly shone as bright as day!
The fireball fell like a meteor!
Lu Xici and Gu Wan, leading their fire-type ability users, attacked simultaneously, instantly engulfing the remaining half of the dense forest in flames.
High in the sky, Lu Nange waved her slender fingers lightly, and the gale roared down along her gesture. The fire, fueled by the wind, transformed into a towering wave that engulfed the entire dense forest.
The dense forest erupted with strange, piercing cries—sharp, hoarse, and sticky, like a cacophony of howls from hundreds of mutated animals.
